Kodak Software Announcements

Nothing too significant, but Kodak has honored its partner BCS Systems for an integration it has done with Kodak's Scan Station network scanner. We're not sure who BCS is, but they apparently develop something called iConnect, which would appear to be competitive with network scanning software products from vendors like eCopy (now owned by Nuance) and Notable Solutions (Nsi), which also has partnership with Kodak surrounding the Scan Station. From the release, the only iConnect back-end integration we gather that is currently available is SharePoint, which, of course, isn't a bad place to start.

Also, Kodak announced a free module for connecting its Capture Pro software with the FileBound document management system. The focus seems to be on the SaaS version of FileBound, which makes sense. When uses purchase a scanner and some capture software like Capture Pro along with it, a SaaS DM integration offers them an easy, low-effort/cost start-up destination for the files they are capturing. So, it gives them the chance to start utilizing capture without making a big ECM investment at the same time.
